would you insist on talking about oranges? its a whole different ball game. when you hit europe up you'll know what I mean. there is just nothing in the life of an american that could even come close to helping them understand gypsies unless you've actually seen them, been around them, been places where they are. its just a whole different ballgame homey. that's all the original guy's post is about, and that's why I agree with him. its like someone in norway reading about the relations between blacks and whites the U.S. all well and good, and I'm sure he's got a nice background in it after reading, but until he rolls over here and sees it for himself he won't have the slightest idea about what is actually going on. some things are just like that in life. gypsies are one of them

Whatever man. I didn't say all that, all I said is I get it - I mean, this wasn't exactly the most subtle display of prejudice that requires some kind of nuanced understanding of the situation to grasp. Same as a Norwegian such as Federisco would "get it" if I posted an article about a cross burning in the south, even if he can't grasp all the nuances of race relations in America between blacks and whites on the same level that I can. That's all I'm saying - no need to go over-complicating things.

I'm just siding with whoever said people here wouldn't get it. and I still stand by that. people here probably just think gypsies are like our homeless or some shit like that. whole different world over there. that's all. so if you get it then fine, but most don't. and you won't really until you go. that's all. I'm not saying I've got a deep understanding by any means, although I have studied the topic at certain length while in spain, but deep understandings aside. even a basic one for most americas would require some form of actual real life gypsie perception, cuz without one its hard to even know how is being talked about.

well, I see what you're getting at - it is vastly different than the general dislike of random transients in the US, but I don't know if most people over here think it's the same thing. Maybe so, but I doubt it - I think people here generally (and I emphasise 'generally') know that gypsies are particularly despised and shat on throughout Europe, even if they don't really understand why or how bad it really is. That's all I was saying, but I understand the point you were making too.

That is the solution, right Bob!?

when did I say that? I could care less about this entire thread other than supporting the point that people in america won't even get the post. nothing more, nothing less. but of course some bitchass like yourself has to come on and put words in people's mouths and shit cuz you're not smart enough to offer anything of any worth to anyone. perhaps you should go to the suicide post and follow some of the instructions, cuz killing yourself would actually be beneficial to all of society at this point. so no, my solution is not to kill all gypsies, just to kill you.

?

if so, realted to roma gypsies of europe? or just other travellers?

are the gypsies in englad (i am still surprised they have any) realted to the gypsies of europe? romas?

maybe some other travelling peoples as well, but those 2 for sure. The Irish travellers are not related to the Roma gypsies of Europe, but they live a similar lifestyle so they're called gypsies sometimes.

I assume there are some in the US as well.

The few I saw in Montreal were begging with their little children in the middle of a school day.

I recently saw a report on the Roms in Hungary. There are now directives to battle the systematic prejudice that these people face in modern-day Hungary, especially in schools.

yeah there are 'nomadic/travelling' peoples here but, i dont think they are of rom descent...

although not all of the travelling peoples in the US are Roma.

Right. I actually saw a report on this on ITV and some guy from the bonfire claimed that the negative sentiments were actually directed at the local council. If that was the real case, then why not burn the council members in effigy? Dummy.

In countries like bulgaria, romania, they are automatically associated with stealing. (Although i have read that the government in romania have started moving in the direction of reckognizing the rom people.) But i know that in norway they have been discriminated and ill treated up until the second world war. Many men were even castrated and children were taken away from their families and put into children's homes. (Not on some aryan ideology shit.. they were seen as having a bad culture that couldn't be allowed to spread. It's the worst action that my country is responsible for that i am aware of.) After the second world war, from the 50s up to the 70s, there were also efforts to force Rom families to settle in public housings! you can imagine that that wasn't easy, but it was done to many.

They are a very proud people with a strong culture. Whish i knew more, since somewhere back in my tree of forefathers there is a forefather who was rom. A rom "company of travellers" migrated north up norway through the village where my family name comes from, and supposedly they also stopped in that village for a while. Then comes a long row of norwegians with dark eyes, hair and skin that is abit more brown than what's typical for norwegians.....

My father was mistaken for being Rom when he used to be a taxi driver and had the Rom king, who lives in norway, in the car. My father said no, he was norwegian. The Rom king became angry and wanted him to admit that he was a Rom, and to stop being ashamed of his true culture. Soon, when my old man kept saying he wasn't romani, the king even said he'd kill him, saying it in anger. Not that he'd do it, but it is a people with plenty of temperament.
(actually there are two who claim to be the rom king, also one in italy.. and there's been plenty disagreements over that.)

Reading this story prompted me to do a little research. I was surprised to read that the Romani Gypsies were originally from India..I work with an international music company and we feature quite a few gypsy bands and I just assumed they were of European origin.

Here is one of the sites I found particularly interesting

she didn't take them on an extended weekend furlough so they could get some fresh air and sunshine - she took them from the camps to use as slave labor, and when she was done with them, she sent them back to the camps to die. I really don't understand why you are defending that Nazi bitch.

If the war had ended when those people were out, she could have remodelled herself as a heroine of the resistance, a la Schindler...

Now I havent researched this, although I did read an article about it a while ago. Im not saying she wasnt evil, Im saying that I dont know for sure.

Im sorry I brought it up really. This board seems to be based on absolutes, people have an opinion and stick to it and repeat it again and again and again (I have been guilty of this). Sometimes I just like to explore the possibilities of a situation. And dont worry, I am far from a Nazi sympathiser.

No, bc Schindler did alot more to save the Jews who worked for him than just randomly happen to have them at his factory when the war ended.

And I'm not saying she was Dr. Mengele here, but she went right along with the Nazi program, so she is at best complicit in Nazi crimes, in particular the use of slave labor.

Well it's fine to explore the possibilities of the situation, but at the end of the day some things in life are in fact absolutes. And I certainly don't think that you're a Nazi sympathiser, but I do think you're getting too caught up in playing devil's advocate here.

it's for all gypsies, not just Irish. The specific derogatory term for Irish gypsies in Ireland is tinkers, but I don't think they use that in England, they apparently just go with the all-purpose 'pikeys'.

Ask one of your lecturers about an ethnography of gypsies in this country. There have been some done recently by a woman whose name I have forgotten. Fascinating shit. If your lecturers cant do it, contact UKC in Canterbury. Or inbox me and I will tell you who to email.
